On Feb. 13 at the Sentient Bean Coffeehouse on the southern end of Forsyth Park, the Psychotronic Film Society’s long-running and award-winning Wednesday night series of overlooked, underappreciated or just plain oddball feature films continues with an exceedingly rare public showing of esteemed director Robert Clouse’s 1974 international action-adventure flick “Golden Needles.”

Clouse, who is best known for helming the Bruce Lee classic “Enter the Dragon,” does an admirable job of marshaling this bizarre and rather convoluted hoot of a picture. The titular golden needles are a set of accessories attached to a small golden idol which reveals seven secret pressure points on the human body which, when simultaneously pierced by these solid golden acupuncture needles, provides the ultimate in sexual stamina and power. As a result, all sorts of wealthy older men around the world are desperately seeking this idol and the ancient Asian treatment it provides. However, if the procedure is done incorrectly, the result is an instantaneous, excruciating death!

Gloriously hokey and ridiculous, this low-budget 1974 drive-in gem stars the pudgy, stiff leading man Joe Don Baker (“Walking Tall,” “Charley Varrick,” “Mars Attacks!”), Elizabeth Ashley (“Evening Shade”) and Burgess Meredith (“Rocky,” TV’s “Batman”) and was an attempt to blend the popular Hong Kong kung-fu movies of the day with more traditional American mystery movies. In that respect, it’s essentially a very loopy and over-the-top remake of “The Maltese Falcon,” with a lot of risqué subject matter and martial arts thrown in for good measure.

It was something of a flop in the USA, but that’s nothing compared to Hong Kong, where it infamously played in theaters for only one day before being pulled. Get this, when the exchange rate is factored in, “Golden Needles” only made a total of $3 at the Hong Kong box office. Hopefully it will do better than that at the Bean! Come prepared to laugh and cheer at the strangeness of it all. Showtime 8 p.m.
